I tried so hard to get into Skyrim but instead of being fascinated by my ability to explore, it just all felt very vast and lonely and made me feel a bit insignificant :/
I will give it another go at some point, but I'm far more interested in people than places
It felt lonely before I found Erandur and thielf guild... only to find out that Erandur nor anyone from the thief guild is romanceable 
(seriously I don't think Skyrim team had any idea who people would like to romance in their games).
Wow, that really made me sick
Ok...sorry? 
That'd still involve mass slaughter of civilian mages, which is almost as horrible as siding with the templars outright. On the whole, I prefer as few middle ground options as possible on this issue (assuming we have to be allowed to choose at all, and I don't even like that).
Come on give us your account pleeassse? I'll be your best friend!
LOL Okay but only if you like Bleach fanfic of the Renji x Byakuya version written by a 20-something "I don't have a male body and honestly am not sure if this is how it works" fanfic writer xD

Can't talk now lass/lad, important guild business. 
Presumably any decision would have ended with several people getting slaughtered regardless of faction.
I have always sided with the mages because Meredith is clearly nuts, but I think that either decision is still a tragedy. If it was in my control (my mage Hawke was completely neutral until the end) Anders would have been punished for his actions, Meredith would have been impeached upon grounds of insanity and Hawke would have taken over the city with the help of Aveline and renegotiated terms between the mages and templars to make the templars custodians of a centre of learning rather than prison guards.
Of course, it would have been a far more beaurocratic game that way.
In the short term, I could see why that would be an interesting plan, just working with DA2 knowledge. That said, I have a feeling that Lambert, and even the Divine, would have slammed down hard on Kirkwall after that. They wouldn't let an outsider like Hawke take control of the Circle like that. Still, I still would have preferred that plan versus the slaughter in the Gallows.

GRRRRRRRRR I know a place where you can conduct your "business" my fine Scottish friend 
And that's how the Dragonborn got kicked out of the Thieves' Guild.

The moment he talked with my dragonborn I was sold.
No, no more grey-wardens I want never see any gw again after DAO..
I still love grey-wardens. 
I have fondness for them I guess...
Depending on how the Mage-templar plot is written, it'd make sense for a truce to be possible.That'd still involve mass slaughter of civilian mages, which is almost as horrible as siding with the templars outright.

Oh man, my head! Zee goggles... zey doo nussink!
Good for you!!!
The first time I wrote about two characters holding hands, I think I was 17-ish, and I was blushing so hard. I then immediately erased what I'd written and closed out the document!
Now I hesitate to give anyone my fanfiction.net account because wow, NC17 doesn't even begin to cover it
Have to start somewhere right? I'm getting a much later one, so it's really hard to put that out there (33 years of ingrained prudence). Even then, I think if it was to be made into a movie, it would barely qualify as PG13... maybe R if Im lucky lol.
(Forums are running sooooo slow today! Urgh)
Dang, I missed a few pages!
I'm trying to count all the people involved in this, Warden, Hawke, Isabella, Zevran, Leliana, and Cullen? So, a Six-some? I wonder what the Inquisitor's opinion on this would be.
I imagine with all the attractive people involved, they'd turn up to... I guess what can only be described as an orgy... with a knife and fork?
I'm not sure if this posted already but it's funny so:
Spoiler"the real reason Cullen pushed so hard for templar support"
The best part of this is that this matches my last DA2 game exactly, which I'm seriously debating making my canon save!
And is it me or is Anders kind of like a cat? He's often out at all hours, his coat moults on the furniture, is obsessed with feathers, can switch from "love me" to "GO AWAY" away in a split-second, is not a particularly fan of dogs... 
I was actually thinking more about the ME series which is as subtle as a rocket launcher in what you were supposed to think about everything and everyone.
I kind of liked the accidental aesop from all three games, that bureaucracy and government get in the way of getting things done, so if you really want to save the world/galaxy, you should steal a ship, go rogue and be a Big Damn Hero all by yourself?!
After all, the Asari were the ultimate bureaucrats and preferred talking things to death amongst themselves before they'd commit to anything, which didn't work out too well for them in ME3. Seriously, I bet when they watch Lord of the Rings, they're the only ones who want more Ent scenes...
Maybe Cullen adopts a mabari and becomes an Ash Warrior.
Cullen with a dog and with body paint, that could work.
Although, can you imagine a Chasind Cullen? Shirtless, tattooed, wearing a horned hat and wielding a big hammer?
I really wished I could've chose a middle ground in DA2. Like someone else mentioned, siding with the people and the guards could've been awesome. I mean, you saw the extremes of both ends, it could be neat to say 'screw it' and just fight through all of them...make Hawke an enemy for all of them. XD
But with this talk of Cullen and what he did...he was more pro-Templar in DA2, and he agreed with Meredith mostly. However, it was the Annulment that made him start to realize. However, what if he didn't mutiny so he could save as many mages as possible? Knowing if he did, Meredith would've killed him on the spot and what help would he be dead? I think part of him knew that, but he also knew that many of the mages were turning to blood magic.
...It is because of that my sympathies for the mages dropped...oh well, I got Origins to make me feel sympathetic. XD
Cause I think in the end, both are gonna fail in successfully closing the Breach. It's not gonna be as simple as shove power into the Mark and boom, Breach destroyed.
After I've defeated their order and sided with the mages, I'll press templar remnants into the inquisition to help close the Breach. Don't know what Cullen will think about that plan but... eh. That's the attitude my rebel mage necromancer will take. I hope its actually playable.
I'm more concerned about the Inquisition's plans to power up my Inquisitor's hand... can't imagine it's gonna be pleasant!
I'm generally neutral, but I think i'd have chosen mages anyway in DA2. The circle wasn't involved with Anders, They had no faults for what happened.
I wish There was an option to be more clear about Hawke's stance though.
Oh no, I can understand that. But then most of them turned to blood magic, even though they have the Champion on their side and they haven't been abandoned by everyone. That sorta...beats the purpose to side with them. And after playing Origins with my Human Mage, I kinda feel sympathy for the Templars and how hard they do try to protect everyone. Then, I listened to Meredith's lines just before the explosion and it almost sounded like she regrets her actions, but knows they are necessary.

Also it sounds pretty risky. Cullen's suggestion sounds more cautious to me.

Granted, I think it makes sense that We don't probably haven't the power to push for an armistice as well. We need (or think to need) either side more then They need us. Though I wonder why mages won't talk to us. It's possible they're not that keen of the Inquisitor at that moment.
On the last part of your post, you'll probably have to accept that Bioware's interpretation of mages and templars differs from yours.
I don't think it does, from what we're presented. Bioware, to me, simply gives too many options to be evil.
Also it sounds pretty risky. Cullen's suggestion sounds more cautious to me.
My inquisitor's method of problem solving: Okay, two advisors say mages... one advisor says templars... two is bigger than one... *clears throat* I'll go with the mages. *firm nod*
